...Harvard Finance Club met last night and had a very lively time, discussing Mr. Richard T. Ely's Labor Movement. The principal disputants were Mr. Rich, '87, and Mr. Duane...
...time, and they were end men, so that be only occasionally got a glimpse of them. Now we hear it stated that Harvard showed more knowledge of modern foot-ball this year than ever before. This means simply that Harvard answered the tactics of its rivals and met force with force, fists with fists. Doubtless foot-ball can be made an interesting sport, but it is far from being that to-day, and there is room for much improvement. Very many who have seen the contests of this year will admit that they would rather go to see a first...
...attack is made upon the founder of the Club, whose earnest efforts met only with careless indifference from the members. In a weak attempt to imitate the bad English of Artemas Ward, the writer declares that "owing to the indifference of the instructor in elocution, the interest in the club was allowed to die out owing to the rarity of the meetings," - thus kindly offering to the reader a choice between the two alleged causes of death.

Lawn tennis is self-supporting, and generally turns a small balance over to the field corporation. The expense...

These figures show that the subscription fiend, with his little book, is quite a striking personage at Yale - in fact many of the students think he strikes too often. When any of the teams are winners, an extra call for funds is made so as to present them with trophies. The amount spent for athletics by Yale men, individually, cannot, of course, be computed, but it is safe to figure that it would carry the yearly aggregate somewhat beyond the $25,000 mark...
